Mesa regulates dockless shared scooters and e-bikes through operator agreements, rider age and helmet rules, and prohibited zones near light rail stations and pedestrian malls. Riders follow Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28 plus city-specific rules.
Shared mobility operators must hold a Mesa permit covering fleet size, parking corrals, geofenced no-ride and slow zones, and data sharing. Sidewalk riding is restricted in business districts and around the Mesa Arts Center, light rail station platforms, and downtown pedestrian areas. Arizona Revised Statutes Title 28 sets the baseline for e-bike classes and helmet rules for riders under 18. Improperly parked devices blocking ADA paths can be impounded by the operator at the city's request, with fees passed back to the rider.
Riding in prohibited zones or parking devices to block sidewalks brings warnings then citations; operators face permit suspension for repeated geofence failures.
